Green ~ Co.'S report on cotton futures says:
considering the lib- al movement of preceding
sessions, the contract market for cotton has
been very duh even for saturday, and no really
new feature was developed. The absence OF
new buying orders, and desire to take profit
by small longs, made offerings a little excess
slVe, and about 10 points were lost, at which
the close was dull, but the bull element evil
dently stood behind the position, and was pre-
pared to combat and neutralize any direct pres
sure

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.--There was little of special
interest in any of tue markets during the early
part of the ession on Change to day. Wheat
was well sustained until the last hour of the
session, when there was decline to point be-
low yesterdays figures. The most active fea-
ture of the market was the sales of wheat, when
December option about noon touched 1880.
Two prominent bear operators sold the market
from that figure down to 73c. They were fol-
lowed by goodly number of ''tailerS,' and the
concerted action of all together made a very
heavy market, though the price was only a
small fraction less than the opening. Receipts
continue large at the principal primary points,
while shipments are only moderate. December
opened at 731sc sold to 1880, off to 73c, and
closed at the latter figure. Corn ruled quiet
most of the session, with trading only mode
rate. The feeling easier, due mainly to
anticipated larger receipts for Monday and an
increase in stocks of about 100000 bushels the
past week. The market opened shade under
yesterday. The closing prices were steady FOR
a time, then ruled weaker, declining Ac, changed
some and closed 1S0J4c lower than yesterday,
with May at 4434c. Oats opened steady, but
the demand was neagre. Other markets be-
came easier and oats followed with 1k0Ac de-
cline. The market quiet and dull The
provision market was slow and easier. Offer
ings were fair. particularly of pork. Buyers
did not take hold readily, and prices declined
l0c but rallied and closed sc lower than yester-
day. January sold at SIP 0216012 1919, and
closed at S12 05. Lard remained steady with
light trading. Stocks show a reduction during
the week of 10000 tierces; November at s. 15GD
